The cheaper ones are usually not worth buying- it gives podcasters the appearance of looking like a broadcaster rather than the advantages of boom arm, which is to get the mic in the proper position whilst isolating the microphone from the desk so that when you shift paper about you don't hear the sympathetic resonances from the desk.
IMHO the cheaper boom arms don't work well enough at the former and are actually work worse than a qualitydesktop mic stand for the latter.
Also articulating arms get in the way so unless you are doing a hell of a lot of podcasting I'd say avoid.
I am currently favouring a small desktop/kick drum mic stand called aTriad Orbit Triad TM but it is probably a price beyond what you'd want to pay.
K&M do some similar things but this is an area where you really do get what you pay for.

I thought that would be the gist of it. The NT1-A came with a proper shock mount, but my budget won't stretch to a decent boom stand, nor will I use one enough to warrant the expense. So, I'll stick with my Hercules stand and maybe get a shorter desktop style one to give some options. Best I try with what I've got and take it from there.
